Abstract

We analyzed the functions of the Gdel language on the bassis of the first-order logic with polymorphism and multi types.The focus was on its types,module system,control mechanisms,meta-programming,and input/output.Emphasis was on comparisons of relationships and disparities in Prolog and Gdel.The comparisons showed that the Gdel language is more declarative and efficient because it eliminates the non-logical parts of Prolog and introduces many kinds of new language elements.
